Apple Debuts AirPods 5 With Open-Ear ANC And Siri AI
- Apple introduced new Apple AirPods at the Steve Jobs Theater in CUPERTINO, with pricing set at $129 for the entry-level model and $149 for the step-up version.
- These AirPods feature an open design without eartips, allowing external sounds for safety, while Apple says the buds offer 50% better ANC compared with older AirPods.
- Beyond the design, the earphones meet IP57 standards for dust and water protection, and the $129 model adds on-stem volume controls found on the AirPods Pro.
- During on-site testing at Apple Park, Eric Zeman confirmed the ANC functions effectively, though he noted the open-design style results in a somewhat loose fit.
- Priced at $149, the step-up version costs less than the $179 predecessor, and most updates including Live Translation are found internally within the new Apple AirPods.
